I went to Spring Valley WA after work this evening. There is some open water in the marsh area and the pond portion is still frozen. I did see two Spring Peepers and heard another. Canada Geese are pairing up. There were dozens of Common Grackles mixed in the hundreds of Redwing Blackbirds. Brown-headed Cowbirds were also present but in low numbers. I could not make out any Rusty Blackbirds. At 6:44 I could hear a Woodcock in flight.
